Assessment Description

Various forms of instructional strategies can be implemented in the classroom to inform instruction and create student engagement, while also meeting the diverse needs of students. Instructional strategies come in varying forms, ranging from direct instruction provided by the teacher to student-centered approaches like collaborative work groups amongst students. While many instructional strategies can be utilized across content areas, some instructional strategies may be more appropriate than others based on the standard and learning objective of a lesson.

Complete the “Instructional Strategies Chart” to describe teacher-centered and student-centered instructional strategies, align instructional practices, and reflect.

Part 1: Examining Instructional Strategies

Describe the defining characteristics and examples of each instructional strategy (50-75 words per strategy) related to direct instruction, concept attainment, inquiry, and cooperative learning. Research two additional instructional strategies of your choice.

Part 2: Aligning Instructional Strategies

Copy and paste your grade level, state standard, and learning objective from Part 2 of the Topic 1 Learning Objectives and Standard Alignment assignment into the chart.

Provide three examples of instructional strategies that effectively support students in achieving the established learning objective and a brief justification of the alignment (75-100 words per example).

Part 3: Video Reflection

Using the topic Resources and your own research, record a 3-5 minute video reflecting on the following:

· Summary of your findings in your examination of instructional strategies, including which approaches and strategies most resonate with you.

· Explanation of how instructional strategies relate to learning theories (e.g., behaviorism, cognitivism) and include at least two specific examples. Include a discussion on why pedagogical knowledge of theories and research on effective teaching are beneficial, regardless of the content area you plan to teach.

· Description of instructional strategies that you can incorporate into your future professional practice to enhance student achievement, improve critical/higher-order thinking, and promote student engagement and motivation.

Support your chart and video with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Refer to the “Recording/Editing/Uploading a Video or Podcast,” if needed, to help you become familiar with how to create a video.

Submit your chart with a link to your video and resources. Ensure that others can access and view the link prior to submitting.

Note: This assignment may be added as an artifact for your Topic 1 Teacher Toolkit.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite Technical Support Articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.
